ASTRA COUPE TURBO'S

Don't know about the astra, but a bloke at work has the corsa vxr and that thing is epic, only trouble he said is you absolutely can't put your foot down on a wet road or its exit stage left.

Or modify it or it breaks!

That must be quite powerful then.

He should try Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres, bloody awesome in the wet.

I think it's pretty well 'shod' but it suffers from serious torque steer ,190bhp through the front wheels and a peaky turbo.

I thought the Astra VXR's had 236bhp or something.

I was surprised I could keep up with one on a private track in my boggo standard Mk5.

my mate has had both the astra VXr and the corsa, both pretty quick but nothing special, id deffo not want to own either

Look very chav too do the corsa's, id sat a clio cup would be a better choice if going for a small hot hatch or the forthcoming Clio williams (classic re born  )

drove a gsi astra turbo, the front and the back of the car dont feel connected through cornering, the steering is a bit vague.

recaros's are nice though

They are bringing back the Clio Williams!? Awesome

I have never driven one so wont comment too much but I quite like the Astra VXRs. Cheap and quite nippy if the power figures are anything to go by (your right bobo, they are 230 something bhp). Matey boy down the road has a black Corsa VXR and not really a fan of that, a bit too much over the top. The Astra VXR styling is quite understated liked the MK5.

Also a big fan of the hot Clios and even went to look at a nice Cup one down the road (white with black wheels) but the interior was absolutely gash! Looked like a standard Clio which put me right off.
